Military Commissariat.

The special purpose units (CHON) are "communist squads", "military-party detachments" formed at the factory party cells (party cells), district, city, uyezd and provincial party committees on the basis of the resolution of the Central Committee of the RCP (B.) Of April 17, 1919 To assist the organs of the Soviet government in combating counter-revolution, carrying out guard duty at particularly important facilities, etc..

Personnel CHON, which by the end of 1919 numbered more than 30,000 Communards, acted in close contact with the bodies of the Cheka, constituting the combat force of the still insufficiently strengthened law enforcement bodies of the Bolsheviks. The CHON communards did not only perform special functions in the rear of the Soviet republic with the Cheka and internal guard units of the republic, but also were sent as selective units from the most trusted fighters to the active army on the most dangerous sectors of the front.
